Orchid Society Members: Can You Help?

We have been given a great opportunity to highlight orchids and our society. Manny received a very special request from Art Chadwick

“I was wondering if any orchid society members in the Dallas area have some large flowered Cattleyas in bloom that we could borrow for a photoshoot with Laura Bush on Thursday. The event will be written up later this year in Orchids magazine.We could use up to a dozen plants – any color.The event is from 3 to 5pm and they could be dropped off at the Magnolia Hotel in Park Cities by noon.Thanks for your consideration!” Art Chadwick Chadwick & Son Orchids Powhatan, VA

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

They are able to use about 6 orchids – they are are looking for large flowers, multiple blooms, any color.

Remember to groom plants as if they were going to a show

Have the plant name and your name marked in the pot or on the base somewhere

You should use nice/decorative pots

Drop off time Thursday is between 10am and Noon

Leave them at the Concierge desk with Anna – she will have a special place to keep the orchids

Pickup time is after 8pm

They want six plants, but we don’t know how many will be available.So, if you have a suitable plant, bring it!
